The new me!

Diane, your 'underwear' pictures look so much like mine we could be twins! Right down to the 'soft' bra! How tall are you?

Awesome and inspiring. I can't wait to be able to take some 55-pounds-down pictures of me. Keep going!

Thank you Tricia!! How do you do that?!?! Is there something I can do to make the pictures show up on the first page? Is it easy?!?!? YOU ARE AMAZING!!

Thanks for the kind words everyone!! You all have just become my new best friends!!

You're very welcome, Diane. First, I use a program called Adobe Photoshop to reduce (crop) the size of the photos so that they're not so big. Then, I upload them to my web server, and hyperlink them so that they show up in the post rather than having to click on a link and open a new window to view them. If you have a web server, I can walk you through it.

You look great!! i think you wrong, you lost about 75 pounds.

Hey Tricia - Your questions have stumped me! I'll ask my husband if we have a web server!! Ha! I have no clue.

Hi Donna! You have the same underwear as me?!? FUNNY!!! I am 5'7" & the proper weight for me is supposed to be 146 which means I have 56 more pounds to go. I'm not even half way! But, we'll see when I get there. I was 175 when I got married & I thought I looked pretty good then.

Okay, I have Photshop and know how to crop. I get the pics from my "My Pictures" file which is where I put them. I send pics from my cell phone to my online photoalbum, them copy them to my pictures, then get them through photoshop, then crop etc. whew! I also have a photobucket account. Do I have what I need to be able to do this too? I can never get 2 pics to merge onto one so I can post side-by-sides. I keep bugging Penni and P'nut.

Hey Diane, are the panties in both pics the same size? Just wunderin'. They look pretty and comfy!

Not only the same underwear but the same figure! If my hair were shorter our before pictures would be a virtual match! LOL

Congrats on being brave enough to share your pics with us - I doubt I'll ever reach that point and am always impressed and appreciative when someone else does.

If you have a photobucket account, then, yes, you can post pictures side-by-side. If you open up a new post form, click on the Insert Image icon (it's yellow and looks like mountains with a small stamp in the right-hand top corner), and then paste the URL (web address) of your photobucket image, and then click ok, it will paste the image directly in the post. Then, if you click to the right of the image you just posted and hit the space bar a few times, you can paste another image to the right of the first by following the same steps. Just make sure your images aren't too wide that they end up one on top of the other. I recommend no wider than 350 pixels. Did I just confuse people even more??

Here's a sample picture that I have on my photobucket account. If you right click on the image and choose Properties, it will show you the location of the URL.
